A word is \emph{square-free} if it does not contain non-empty factors of the form $XX$. In 1906 Thue proved that there exist arbitrarily long square-free words over $3$-letter alphabet. We consider a new type of square-free words. A…
For any natural n, we construct an aleph_n-free abelian groups which have few homomorphisms to Z . For this we use ``aleph_n-free (n+1)-dimensional black boxes''. The method is relevant to e.g. construction of aleph_n-free abelian groups…
We study positive-data learning of bounded-fan-out linear multiple context-free grammars under a fixed explicit finite monoid homomorphism \(h\). The main obstacle beyond the context-free case is that an MCFG nonterminal derives a tuple…
In the article the fact is verified that the list of words selected by formal statistical methods (frequency and functional genre unrestrictedness) is not a conglomerate of non-related words. It creates a system of interrelated items and it…
We address the non-redundant random generation of k words of length n from a context-free language. Additionally, we want to avoid a predefined set of words. We study the limits of a rejection-based approach, whose time complexity is shown…
In this short note, we are interested in discussing characteristics of finite generating sets for $\mathcal{F}$, the set of all semiflows with non negative coefficients of a Petri Net. By systematically positioning these results over semi…
Let $A$ and $B$ be sets of words of length $n$ over some finite alphabet. Suppose that no suffix of a word in $A$ coincides with a prefix of a word in $B$. Then we show that the product of densities of $A$ and $B$ is upper bounded by…
Often, when analyzing the behaviour of systems modelled as context-free languages, we wish to know if two languages overlap. To this end, we present an effective semi-decision procedure for regular separability of context-free languages,…
A word is closed if it contains a proper factor that occurs both as a prefix and as a suffix but does not have internal occurrences, otherwise it is open. We deal with the sequence of open and closed prefixes of Sturmian words and prove…
We provide a systematic derivation of cluster alphabets of finite types. The construction is based on a geometric realization of the generalized worldsheets by gluing and folding a pair of polygons. The cross ratios of the worldsheet z…
A set without tangents in $\PG(2,q)$ is a set of points S such that no line meets S in exactly one point. An exterior set of a conic $\mathcal{C}$ is a set of points $\E$ such that all secant lines of $\E$ are external lines of…
We develop faultless, fixed-depth, string-based, prefix and postfix symbolic regression grammars, capable of producing \emph{any} expression from a set of operands, unary operators and/or binary operators. Using these grammars, we outline…
We characterize the fixed sets of automorphisms of an arbitrary countable, arithmetically saturated structure.
Finite alphabets of at least three letters permit the construction of square-free words of infinite length. We show that the entropy density is strictly positive and derive reasonable lower and upper bounds. Finally, we present an…
The (bitwise) complement $\overline{x}$ of a binary word $x$ is obtained by changing each $0$ in $x$ to $1$ and vice versa. An $\textit{antisquare}$ is a nonempty word of the form $x\, \overline{x}$. In this paper, we study infinite binary…
Let $W$ be an infinite word over finite alphabet $A$. We get combinatorial criteria of existence of interval exchange transformations that generate the word W.
The main result of this short note is a generic version of Paz's conjecture on the lengths of generating sets in matrix algebras. Consider a generic g-tuple A=(A_1,..., A_g) of nxn matrices over a field. We show that whenever $g^{2d}\geq…
We prove the existence of infinite dense free sets (in the usual topology) for set mappings on the reals, under reasonable assumptions.
We construct a special type of antichain (i. e., a family of subsets of a set, such that no subset is contained in another) using group-theoretical considerations, and obtain an upper bound on the cardinality of such an antichain. We apply…
Consider a non-standard numeration system like the one built over the Fibonacci sequence where nonnegative integers are represented by words over $\{0,1\}$ without two consecutive 1. Given a set $X$ of integers such that the language of…
